"Li-nux" is a real thing? You mean the guy in the video wasn't just trolling us!

Hm, why is he saying "L-aay-nux" instead of "L-ee-nux"?

When it was first announced lightworks is coming to linux i could not believe my eyes. I stated publicly that adobe must be close to releasing their video edit suite as multiplatform since they allow lightworks to enter the market.

What has happened since lightworks first was announced, and now that it is being released for real? adobe's premiere now runs on wine!

Of course many of you now scream conspiracy, but just think about it. How much would you invest as adobe's CEO in cornering the market and blocking the only rising platform from having a competing product?

If you watch the video, he actually says the beta will be available by the end of March, ie within 10 days.
